ABOUT THIS BLOG

The Building Bridges Project is a series of weekly arts workshops, created by Nushelle de Silva, to nurture self-expression and sustained dialogue between ethnically diverse youth in recently rehabilitated communities in the north of Sri Lanka. It is funded by a grant from Princeton University.
